Situation: The client configures dual site to site VPN connecting to AWS using two ISPs, AT&T and Comcast. They configure both Active-active load balance and failover. They would like to know how to switch between Balance and Failover.
Resolution: assuming both configuration are correct and they are using Active-active balance, you just need to check Fail Over under Monitor Profile by going to Network>Network Profile>Monitor.
Q: We configure dual site to site VPN connecting to AWS using two ISPs, AT&T and Comcast. This is Active-Active load balance Tunnels. How can I test to make they are working?
A: You may have many options.
Use Paloalto firewall command: ping source IP host IP. For example if the AT&T local IP is 12x.x.130 and AWS private host IP is 10.2.2.35, run this command: ping source 12x.x.130 host 10.2.2.35. If the comcast local IP is 50.x.x.125, run this command ping source 50.x.x.125 host 10.2.2.35
You can disable one tunnel for testing another tunnel. Go to Network>IPSec Tunnel. Highlight one of tunnel, for example AT&T to AWS tunnel 1.
Click Disable. Click Yes to confirm disable the tunnel.
Commit to save the change.
Ping the AWS private IP address, 10.2.2.35. If it works, you are connecting the AWS using the different tunnel.
Q: Is there a way to add Public Calendar into Favorites? I try it but the public Calendar doesn’t show up in the top of Favorites.
A: If you right click on the Public Calendar, you do have an option to add the Public Calendar ton the Favorites. However, it will show up in Public Folder Favorites, not the top Favorites which is Mail favorites.
You may drop the Public Calendar to the calendar if that will be easy for you to navigate.
The client has two ISP, AT&T and Comcast. They would like to configure fialover site to site VPN connecting to AWS. This article will show you how to configure dual IPSec VPN failover using Tunnel Monitoring on Paloalto Firewall.
The configuration is based on this topology.
1. Make sure you have Tunnels
configured. Please refer another video for IPSec Tunnel Configuration.
* Login Paloalto
firewall and go to Network
> Interface > Tunnel
* Network > IPSec Tunnels
2. There are two ways to do VPN
tunnel traffic automatic failover:
1) Failover using Tunnel Monitoring
– is used to make sure the VPN tunnel is passing traffic. If the primary VPN
tunnel (1) in our example) goes down or if there are traffic issues over the
VPN, the tunnel monitoring will detect it and will bring the primary tunnel
interface down. Thus the route through the Primary tunnel interface tunnel 1
will be removed from the Forwarding table and the route through the Secondary
Tunnel interface tunnel 100 will take over.
* To configure a Monitoring
Profile.
Network > Network Profiles > Monitor > Add
Make sure “Fail Over”
Option is selected.
* To enable Tunnel Monitor on the IPSec
Tunnels
Network > IPSec Tunnels > Primary-Tunnel (1), make sure Enable is checked for Tunnel Monitor.
Configure the destination IP to be monitored and select the configured Monitor Profile “tunnelMonitor”. Note: if you don’t see Tunnel Monitor, click on “Show Advanced Options”.
Repeat above to configure the
destination IP to be monitored and select the configured Monitor Profile “tunnelMonitor“ on
Secondary Tunnel 100.
Note : For Tunnel monitoring to
work the Tunnel Interface will have to be configured with an IP
address.
Once the Primary Tunnel monitoring on the Primary tunnel fails, the tunnel
interface status is forced to Down. Network > IPSec Tunnels.
Once
the Traffic through the Primary Tunnel recovers, the tunnel monitoring will
come up and the route through tunnel.1 will be installed in the Forwarding
table.
Once
the Tunnel monitor is goes DOWN or UP the below logs can be
seen under System logsMonitor > Logs > System
2) For configuring Failover using Static Route Path monitoring, please view another article.

shared folders.
Map network drive. Right click on “This PC” and select Properties.
In Map Network Drive, choose Drive, for example V, Folder, \\pc01\software in our example. You may check Reconnect at sign-in. Click Finish.
If you login the same username and password you created, it will map the shared drive. If you login a different user account, windows will popup for the credentials. Enter the username and password you created before. You may want to check remember my credentials so that it won’t popup next time. Click OK.
Now, you should be able to access
the shared software folder.
Alternatively, you can type the remote computer name to see all shared folders. For example type \\pc02 in the Search bar. Then click Open.
You will see all shared folders or drives.
Note: to access a shared folder and shared printer, all computers, printers must be in the same network, for example 192.168.0.# network. If your wired computer and Wi-Fi laptops are in the different IP range, they may not be able to see each other.
